Having Faith

Sometimes there are things that come up, curve balls that life throws at us, and we are faced with decisions that aren't so easy. To have faith and do what your heart and spirit are saying are the right thing to do, is at times, a lot easier said than done. To feel inside that moving forward is the right thing, but none of the logical elements are agreeing ... now this, is a tough place to be.

My suggestion? To have faith. To believe in something, to believe for something. There is nothing wrong with hoping and believing, in fact, it is what keeps life going. To know there are some things that will work out in ways we can't begin to explain or imagine, but to know inside that everything will work out, having that kind of faith, is a gift.

As our children display this kind of faith, belief and hope this time of year, let's join them in hoping for what we want to see. Let's believe with child like innocence in our dreams. As we are able to wrap our arms around them and snuggle into the couch and watch a Christmas movie, let us never out grow our ability to have faith as strong as a mustard seed.

Month of Motion

December is always an exciting time of the year for everyone - and that's true for our Beacon House Family as well. Our calender is full of webinars to help our new adoptive families gain more knowledge and information, as well as help out those who are just seeking out where to begin. The Jones Creek Christmas parade in Baton Rouge, LA is a must attend for all families. This year it is next Sunday, December 12th at 1pm. The parade is an afternoon full of cheer and excitement, and is sure to make you have the Christmas fuzzies inside.

December 6th, 13th, and 20th (all are Mondays) we will be having webinars focusing on the Russian Adoption Program. You will get all the information needed & some extra nuggets of knowledge too.

Be sure to check out the Calender to get more dates, information, and of course be sure to set your computer alarm so you don't miss the webinars! [or Christmas parade :) ]
